Following the traces of disappeared Vulcans
If you wish to spend a day among the unusual inhabitants of an extraordinary place
and be in the company the extraterrestrial E.T. - come to this valley!
A one-day tour
Do you remember the cute alien E.T.? He longed for his home - it might have been this
place, this extraordinary town whose inhabitants were turned into stone, which is spread
on three locations in the Valley of the Dolls.
In the volcanic area of Kratovo and
Zletovo, along the river Kriva and in the vicinity
of the village Kuklica, a natural reserve of stone figures lies hidden, which is uniquely
attractive and can be matched by only a few in Europe. It is here where fantasy becomes
reality and reality turns into fantasy...
A huge woman just leaving the hairdresser's; three women chatting; a husband, wife and
a child; a small lady in a long evening dress; a man sunbathing; a wedding retinue… and
many more extraordinary inhabitants of the
Valley of the Stone Dolls.
